Softcover 8bo, 128pp. About Good condition with light creasing/corner clipping, later paper spine covering, general age toning and intermittent foxing. A charming and generous collection of 125 delicate illuminated initials, monograms and vignettes in subtle pastel tones, praised by the publisher for the use of symbolism and development of a new artistic style. Provost-Blondel's preface announces the designs can be copied by tradesmen, but are foremost meant to inspire creative invention, especially among young women engaged in the decorative arts.
